The method:
    protected String
        normalizeMimeTypeParameter(String parameterName,
                                   String parameterValue)
of class java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor
returns 'parameterName'+"="+'parameterValue'.
Should return only the (normalized) 'parameterValue'.
Also the doc should specify the rules of normalizing
the 'parameterValue'.

The same problem (with doc) is in the method:
    protected String normalizeMimeType(String mimeType)
Currently this method returns unchanged 'mimeType'.

The doc says:
--------------------------------------------------
protected String normalizeMimeTypeParameter(String parameterName,
                                            String parameterValue)

     Deprecated.

     Called on DataFlavor for every MIME Type parameter to allow
     DataFlavor subclasses to handle special parameters like the
     text/plain charset parameters, whose values are case
     insensitive. (MIME type parameter values are supposed to be case
     sensitive.

     This method is called for each parameter name/value pair and
     should return the normalized representation of the parameterValue
     This method is never invoked by this implementation from 1.1
     onwards

protected String normalizeMimeType(String mimeType)

     Deprecated.

     Called for each MIME type string to give DataFlavor subtypes the
     opportunity to change how the normalization of MIME types is
     accomplished. One possible use would be to add default
     parameter/value pairs in cases where none are present in the MIME
     type string passed in This method is never invoked by this
     implementation from 1.1 onwards

---------Test.java--------------------------------
import java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor;

public class Test extends DataFlavor {
    public String normalizeMimeType(String mimeType) {
        return super.normalizeMimeType(mimeType);
    }
    public String normalizeMimeTypeParameter(String parameterName,
                                             String parameterValue) {
        return super.normalizeMimeTypeParameter(parameterName, parameterValue);
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Test df = new Test();
        System.out.println("normalizeMimeTypeParameter: "+
                           df.normalizeMimeTypeParameter("WhatEver","YouWant"));
        System.out.println("normalizeMimeType: "+
                           df.normalizeMimeType("Left/Right"));
    }
}
